It Works Because of You!The residents of Chino Hills are coming through in a big way for the next generation and for the City by continuing to reduce and recycle over half of their solid waste. Recycling allows the City to comply with the State’s strict recycling laws, which require cities to reduce their waste by 50 percent or pay steep fines.
